Southern Connecticut State University is a medium-sized university campus (about 12,000
students) located on 168 acres in New Haven, Connecticut--a coastal city approximately
two hours northeast of New York City and two-and-a-half hours southwest of Boston,
Massachussetts. And while quick and convenient public transportation is available
for travel to both metropolitan centers, New Haven provides easy access to the scenic
Connecticut shoreline, as well as the picturesque towns and villages of Connecticut's
Northeast corner, the Berkshires in Massachussetts, and many more lovely New England
settings.

What sets Southern apart from other schools is our friendly campus community where
you will find academic excellence, innovative approaches to learning and close working
relationships between faculty and students. With 114 undergraduate and graduate programs, Southern will prepare you for a rewarding "professional life" in fields such as
business, psychology, nursing, education, liberal studies, biology, communication,
and more.

Our Assistant Director, Aliya Amin (amina1@southernct.edu), assists prospective students with the application process, evaluation of academic
records, and initial immigration issues. We encourage you to explore our web site
and contact us if you have any questions.
